The areas receiving the new channels include Miami-Dade and
Broward counties. Comcast's lack of HD channels in these areas
has been a source of controversy for the past few years. (See:
Comcast HD Lineup Falls Short in S.
Florida.)

The nation's cable operator has only offered roughly 50 HD
channels in the South Florida area until now.

Comcast said in a press release that the majority of customers
in South Florida can now get the new channels; the remainder of
S. Florida homes will be added soon.
